Bankers Guild Builds/Funded Builds/Portavas/Rat Sanctuary: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:37, 7 July 2026

The Rat Sanctuary, operated by Rat Protection Services (R.P.S.), now floats proudly among the structures of the floating city, providing a permanent refuge for rescued, abandoned, and otherwise unfortunate rats in need of safety, care, and the occasional dramatic nap.

Constructed as a sturdy timber building with a practical square design, the sanctuary makes efficient use of its limited space while providing a welcoming environment for both its residents and visitors. Clear signage marks the entrance, ensuring that anyone seeking rat care, or unexpectedly discovering it, knows exactly where they have arrived.

Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by the familiar scent of fresh bedding, animal feed, and the unmistakable aroma of well-cared-for rodents. The entrance hall is decorated with drawings donated by local children, proudly portraying the sanctuary's residents as heroes, explorers, professional sleepers, and enthusiastic collectors of snacks.

The sanctuary hosts regular supervised social visitation sessions, allowing approved visitors to spend time with the rats through gentle handling, cuddle sessions, and quiet interaction. These visits provide valuable enrichment for the animals, though the residents themselves remain firmly convinced that affection and treats should be available at all hours.

The heart of the sanctuary consists of spacious enclosure halls, each comparable in size to a large aviary and thoughtfully furnished with hammocks, climbing structures, chewable fabric nets, and a generous assortment of enrichment materials. Experience has confirmed that anything not firmly secured quickly becomes part of an ambitious rodent renovation project.

Each enclosure follows a carefully managed daily routine, with scheduled feeding, play, rest, and social interaction. Timetables are displayed prominently outside each habitat, a sensible precaution, as any notices placed inside have consistently proven irresistible to curious teeth.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the sanctuary accommodates a large and growing population through interconnected enclosures separated by removable partitions, allowing the facility to adapt to changing needs and the occasional unexpected influx of whiskered residents. The Rat Sanctuary stands as a place of compassion, recovery, and cheerful disorder. Here, rescued rats are given every opportunity to heal, explore, make new friends, and enthusiastically pursue the noble art of accepting snacks from anyone willing to provide them.

-| lore = The Rat Sanctuary, operated under Rat Protection Services (R.P.S.), is a proposed care and rehabilitation facility for rescued, abandoned, or otherwise unfortunate rats in need of safety, food, and a good place to nap dramatically. Located within the shifting structure of a floating city, the building is planned as a sturdy wooden structure, squared off at the corners to make the most of available space (and to prevent any particularly enthusiastic rodents from redecorating the architecture mid-construction). Outside, signage is expected to be simple and unambiguous. You are either looking for rat care services, or you are about to be very confused.

-Upon entry, visitors are greeted by a very specific and immediately recognisable smell: animal feed, bedding, and the general aroma of creatures who are doing just fine, thank you very much. The entryway walls are planned to be covered in drawings from local children, many proudly depicting the sanctuary’s residents in heroic, sleepy, or suspiciously snack-focused poses.

-The sanctuary will include scheduled ‘social visitation hours,’ during which approved visitors may interact with the rats through supervised cuddle sessions, gentle handling, and general admiration. These sessions are intended to ensure the rats receive appropriate levels of affection, attention, and emotional validation (which they will loudly demand regardless of schedule compliance).

-The main housing area consists of a series of spacious cage enclosures, each roughly the size of a large aviary. Inside, hammocks, chewable fabric nets, and climbing structures are installed in abundance, as rats have previously demonstrated that anything not nailed down is, in fact, enrichment material.

-Each enclosure operates on a structured daily routine including feeding times, nap schedules, play periods, and visitor slots. These schedules are displayed prominently outside each cage, as anything placed inside the cages will be immediately repurposed into a new and exciting shredded texture.
